The nasty guy, along with Prime Minister of Canada Trudeau and President of Mexico Peña Nieto, signed the USMCA (also known as NAFTA 2.0) trade deal. The nasty guy is, of course, crowing that it is the best trade deal in the history of the world, even though it isn’t much different than the original NAFTA.
But a few GOP members of Congress are pissed over the deal. One of the changes is LGBT employment protections. Trudeau insisted that the agreement redefines the word “sex” to include “sexual orientation and gender identity.”
Rep. Doug Lamborn complained that the nasty guy administration has been doing such good work unifying policy around excluding sexual orientation and gender identity and this trade deal is ruining that work. “A trade agreement is no place for the adoption of social policy.”
I think a trade agreement is a fine place to adopt social policy, especially this one, though also including worker rights and environmental protections.
